Facts are a bitch but when used within the entire spectrum. As a history major grad from LSU you learn that many facts are omitted in history to support larger causes ie propaganda.

The man has been here 8 years and won 85 games, 2 SEC, and 1 NC as well as a second NC appearance.

The facts are simple 08-09 are a product of RP, he was the man and was going to be the man and instead he became an idiot. 10-11 we were 23-4 and scored a lot of points. A few mistakes here and there and some bad adjustments in 1/9. This year we break in a new QB and te receivers dropped a ton of passes, patchwork OL and we lose to Clemson in a game the refs made a ton Of bad calls that helped them. Clemson was execution, Florida was execution an mistakes by the players, only Alabama is on the coaches. Until we start mirroring USC and going 7-5 after being no 1 then I'll worry.

The above quote and the best record for wins in the SEC since 05 are the only "facts" any sane/reasonable fan should need to enjoy the elite success of LSU football.

Football experts can argue the why of our success 24/7, but the bottom line to me is that when you are winning more SEC games, the without question best/deepest college football conference in the game since 05, than any other SEC program I'm not gonna cry like a spoiled 2 yr old cause everything is not perfect or as much as I might want.

What is difference between fans who over react to loss and want the coach fired and those that fail to acknowledge that LSU has an issue that needs to be addressed or just remain second fiddle to Alabama. Because resources and talent LSU is right with Alabama. Schedule and coaching leave a bit to be desired.

We are playing second fiddle because its Alabama, there's perception that we can't immediately among the media or SEC home office, hell Bama grads work there and run too level recruiting sites. But among national media Bama plays second fiddle to ND, Ohio State and USC in coverage and perception.

LSU is the 4th most valuable program according Forbes and highest in the SEC above even the Gumps and we graduate more players than anyone but Vandy in the SEC, and we win games and we put people in the NFL. What more do you want?

Nick Saban is best coach in all of college, he just is, we as LSU fans know this, we have a very good coach who always plays Bama well and sometimes beats him. Remember how the Gumps use to suck before Saban? Miles has some minor adjustments to make from a very young team that started the most freshmen in NCAA and still won 10 games.

I think the lack of inventiveness on offense is an issue...and the play calling at times...

Our offense succeeds most of the time because we overpower lesser teams with the running game, and because we have NFL receivers catching the ball...

we don't exactly do anything to catch the defense off guard...there is no misdirection

If I knew that Spencer Ware was going to get the ball whenever we lined up in that Pistol formation, then every defense we played knew too...

I've been to the last two spring games, they aren't fan friendly enough and not enough hype even in BR for it. But for heavens sake it's Alabama, there is nothing to do there but sit on the porch or watch football. What's funny is that we still beat them in the Forbes poll, we bring in just as much profit as them and in my opinion spend more effectively even giving back to academics.

We did 33,000 last year but damn it was March and it was hot as hell. The only worth seeing was the chick in the tiger bikini and a lady with a purple tank top who sat below is with the biggest roundest fake boobs I've ever seen in person. Those were the highlights.
